Forums - Microsoft - Forza dev: We're 2 years away from new Kinect genres

CVG

Forza Motorsport 4 game director Dan Greenawalt thinks it'll be another couple of years before we start seeing the real fruits of Kinect.

"We're two years away from having entirely new genres that are born out of this kind of thinking," the Turn 10 man said at E3, according to GamesIndustry.biz.

"If I'm honest, I still think the development community is just getting started. Three years from now, four years from now we're going to look back at the types of games that were originally launched and the types of games you're going to see coming forward and we're going to say 'that was the start of something big.' 

"I can't tell you what those big things are," he added. "Some of them are secret but most I just don't know about."

Makes a ton of sense. Paradigm shifts take time, especially ones as big as this. But Kinect is a firm part of Microsoft's (not just Xbox's) future, so expect it to be an integral part of the next console as well.



This kind of technology might be a revolution in a couple more years when it will be 100% 1:1 body tracking. Right now its barely usable for core gaming purpose. He probably couldnt precise it would be a kinect evolution and not the actual Kinect.
